truman was furious about this. he called eisenhower a moral coward and started campaigning across the country, saying that eisenhower was unfit for the office. anyone who would not stand up to mccarthymaccarthy did not deserve to be president of the united states. on inauguration day, he was still angry and actually refused to pick him up. they barely spoke throughout the presidency. truman does not step foot back into the white house. these relationships, again, it is never that simple. the two men do find themselves again together, mainly at funerals. particularly in november 1963, when they share a limousine back from arlington cemetery. the burial of president kennedy. and they start talking about their own burial plans. in that sort of shadow of their mortality, small things fall away. the big things come back. truman says to eisenhower, and would you like to come in for a drink? they end up at blair house talking and reconciling. a friendship that turns into a fugue turns back into and reconciliation, because

truman and most presidents since, everybody has taken responsibility and action. that's what apt does. it's a great lesson for today because today we're witnessing another lesson unfold, which is an example of a different kind. according to the documents we examined, as we mentioned, mitt romney was a 100% owner sole shareholder, ceo and president of 11 bain-related companies in 2002 and received ample salaries from those companies. among the 46 companies he was involved in, he distinguished those he was passive in and those he was actively involved in. so what does active involvement mean for a company head when you're 100% in charge? in practice, being actively involved doesn't mean you're handling every task every minute. i doubt mitt romney was ever in the trenches of doing the work of the companies or making the widgets or firing the widgetmakers whose jobs were out sourced, but this focusing on the semantics of "active involvement" while important and potentially damaging misses a larger point. the simple fact remains through 2002, they were his company. as
